USUALLY you cannot set your pc to wake up at a specific time..You can set it to wake up on ring (ethernet) but once the system is in sleep it takes a physical action on your part to wake it up.. sorry, it is just the way of the pc

I was just using Webroot Window Washer the other day and had a similar problem. I went to the control panel and deleted the program. Then I reinstalled it and it worked fine this time. Of course I was using a free trial. If you purchased the program just download it again or reinstall it from your disc.

check your fire wall exceptions tab from control panel /add program(webroot spy sweeper)/check box next to this entry?

I too have Trend PC Cillin ( anti-virus ) and Webroot Spy sweeper... I schedule sweeps at different times so there is no overlap or conflicts.. I am running windows XP Pro ( i do not like Vista... even thou I may not have any choice at some point) but I have not had any conflicts or lockups between them.. There may be some other underlying issue with your system... For what it's worth...

I have seen this problem a couple times. The only fix that seems to work is uninstalling Spysweeper and then reinstall it again. If you go to start>Programs>webroot you will see an uninstaller. Run that, reboot the computer, then reinstall again from your install disc.

Webroot has a main page where one of the tabs across the the top is 'Shields' Click on that tab and set all shields on except the e-mail one. That one makes a mess on Outlook Express. I also dropped back a few versions since the latest one kept yakking about a shortage of drive space when there was no problem. As to alerts the program will give an ' Alert' when it thinks that a sweep is overdue. I just click on 'sweep later' and minimize the alert.There are also some good anti spyware 'freebies such as AVG and SpyBot Search and destroy
